    Hi Ladies!  I'm sure there is a similar post about this somewhere, but I got tired of going through old posts..and besides, maybe my situation is unique.

    My sister is going to be in charge of throwing my bridal shower (another BM is in charge of bachelorette, the agreed, etc.)....so far it is the only bridal shower anyone has mentioned throwing me....So, my question is:  Who gets invited?

    I live in Kansas City (where my family, and all BMs live) but have many friends in IL/MI.  FI's family lives in Michigan.

    I was originally just going to invite My siblings, aunts and my Kansas City friends...but am wondering if I should invite any of FI's family (FMIL and FSILs?) and/or any out of state friends...

    Suggestions?

    I think you should invite anyone who youre inviting to your wedding that would be able to make it, including your in laws and that whole side of the family! If youre only having one shower then they might be a little hurt if they arent invited?

    I'm only having one shower, so everyone is invited. Friends, mothers, g-mothers, aunts, cousins. Almost all the women who are invited to the wedding. We are having a small wedding (65 people) so all of the women invited to the wedding are family or close friends.

    This is a good question since I am in a very similar situation and so far looks like there's only 1 shower too, from what my BMs suggested I should invite the FILs too.  I think they would feel left out and hurt that they wouldn't be invited, especially his mom and sister-in-law.
